EXPRESS STAMPS
The Irving Park Community Food Pantry was selected as the only food pantry in Chicago and one of only two in Cook County to pilot a new and rapid means to apply for Food Stamps. This project is being developed by the Greater Chicago Food Depository, the Illinois Department of Human Services and the US Department of Agriculture. Applicants who qualify for Food Stamps will receive a Link Card and can activate it within two days. This allows our clients to receive and utilize these benefits within days rather than the traditional 30 day waiting period most applicants experience. Those who are in need of on-going assistance will need to confirm their eligibility in person at their Illinois Department of Human Services office to continue to receive assistance. This pilot program is limited to those who live within our Pantry's boundaries.
Congratulations and thank you to the Disney II Magnet School Winter Accessories Drive Contest Winners. Mrs. Maria Schnaufer's First Grade class collected the most winter accessories within the school. We know that many of our clients will be warmer this year because of their efforts.
